Books I have seen:
1. Haberman. Ada for Experienced Programmers
Compares Ada and Pascal side by side. Programs are given mainly for numerical computations. Felt that it discussed too much of the program implementation in Pascal rather than in Ada. Not that good book for Ada.
2. Ford. Scientific Ada
Much of what is in the book about scientific computations is found in Ada standards. Discusses a few algorithms here and there but otherwise not much interesting.
Haven't seen this one:
Pyle. Developing Safety Systems: A Guide Using Ada
but perhaps it can be close to one of the author's other The ADA programming language : a guide for programmers from 1985, which was a readable and well written book.
